Pages : 114
Book Description
Our family took our quarantine time to create a cookbook of our favorite meals to benefit those most in need, donating proceeds to Feeding America, the nation's largest and most effective organization dedicated to fighting domestic hunger through a network of food banks. Each book purchased will provide up to 100 meals. This book is meant to give ideas for creating delicious, flavorful foods that take very little effort and the whole family loves. We also included the influence of one of our town's best, local ingredients we pick up straight from the boats on the dock - lobster! It wouldn't be a family cookbook without the whole family participating as key grips, food stylists and taste testers. My daughter Cristina (16) was food photographer; Chauncey (19) was creative director; and, my nieces Carlisle (22), Cate (19) and Caroline (16) took the lead with naming and food styling. Noni (76) cooked, tasted and edited, edited, and edited until she couldn't take it anymore. Pop (76) just tasted. We loved working on our project...together. We hope you enjoy this peek into our family recipes, all while helping others. Proceeds are donated to the non-profit hunger relief organization, Feeding America

Children of Reunion
Author: Allison Varzally
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469630923
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
In 1961, the U.S. government established the first formalized provisions for intercountry adoption just as it was expanding America's involvement with Vietnam. Adoption became an increasingly important portal of entry into American society for Vietnamese and Amerasian children, raising questions about the United States' obligations to refugees and the nature of the family during an era of heightened anxiety about U.S. global interventions. Whether adopting or favoring the migration of multiracial individuals, Americans believed their norms and material comforts would salve the wounds of a divisive war. However, Vietnamese migrants challenged these efforts of reconciliation. As Allison Varzally details in this book, a desire to redeem defeat in Vietnam, faith in the nuclear family, and commitment to capitalism guided American efforts on behalf of Vietnamese youths. By tracing the stories of Vietnamese migrants, however, Varzally reveals that while many had accepted separations as a painful strategy for survival in the midst of war, most sought, and some eventually found, reunion with their kin. This book makes clear the role of adult adoptees in Vietnamese and American debates about the forms, privileges, and duties of families, and places Vietnamese children at the center of American and Vietnamese efforts to assign responsibility and find peace in the aftermath of conflict.

Book Description
"The stories in Varzally's book are great, and they drive the analysis, which really does tell us a lot about how people form interracial relationships and how interethnic coalitions–indeed, how races–are formed in the everyday reality of people's experiences." –Paul Spickard, author of Almost All Aliens: Immigration, Race, and Colonialism in American History and Identity "Most important among its contributions, this book points towards a broad reconceptualization of America's past that incorporates the various cultural communities of the United States, not as subordinate actors in an Anglo-centric narrative, but as equal participants in our nation's history." –Mark Wild, author of Street Meeting: Multiethnic Neighborhoods in Early Twentieth Century Los Angeles
